NTeam on the news

eWeek has posted an article on NTeam. now talks have been around this project as if it was a way to stress microsoft to lower their price of TeamSystem down. i am assuming this is not the case simply from the logic of fear.
Why whould microsoft fear NTeam?
Will it be playing a part in their market in the near future?
It is not there yet.
It poses no immidiate threat and microsoft can lower their pricing tomorrow if they see that there is a threat to their TS product.
I guess that in the long run NTeam will grab a portion of the market of TS and other types of tools but it is not in the near future. Or is it?
